They won't tell you that. You can use a PPG or Plinkigton glass because they are the OEM makers for 85% of the Manufacturers of cars. I been in the buisness for a long time Safelite is running a Radio Ad here in NY that makes me want to throw up its so annoying the play it ever five minutes., If you want your car done right ask the glass service what glass they use all the rest doesn't even matter. Its the glass and the change of a new moulding, and th installer should care what their work looks like an you should be fine.

He may not be a good installer, but what a line of s***. The guy is a salesman. Next time, go to a local shop that installs the glass carefully. Wow, that installer was good !!

NEVER accept a job where they don't return your car in good condition. There is NO excuse for the installer scratching your paint. The scenario you told is entirely avoidable. next time insist on dealer glass and 2 experienced installers who are agrss registered.
